Conversation Highlights:
The Seven Mountains Mandate is a movement that seeks to have evangelical Christians control seven spheres of societal influence, including education, religion, family, business, government, media, and arts and entertainment.
Christian nationalism poses a significant threat to public education, with efforts to deconstruct and privatize the system. It is important to recognize the influence of Christian nationalists on school boards and take action to protect public education.
The impact of Christian nationalism extends beyond Colorado, with the movement growing on a national and global level. It is crucial for individuals in all states to be aware of and address the threat posed by Christian nationalism.
To defend democracy and counter Christian nationalism, it is essential to elevate the voices of faith leaders who reject Christian nationalism and provide step-by-step instructions for taking action, such as filing complaints with relevant organizations.
Unity and collaboration are key in the fight against Christian nationalism. It is important to recognize that everyone has a role to play and to support those who share the same cardinal direction in defending democracy.
